Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of telecommunications. It relates more particularly to a method and device for fixing tubes for telecommunication cables on a support, such as a telecommunication cable connection box at the end of the network.
  • the tubes in which the telecommunication cables (such as optical fibers) are installed generally terminate in terminal portions to connection boxes to which they are attached.
  • the fixing of the tubes carrying these telecommunication cables must meet two requirements: first, to ensure mechanical continuity with the connection boxes to which they are attached, and secondly to provide protection over the entire length of the cable of telecommunication.
  • connection boxes Conventional solutions consist in fixing the transport tubes of telecommunication cables to the connection boxes by generally bulky devices, such as dominoes, screwing or collages. See eg US-B1-6,222,977 (Kawada et al.), Published April 24, 2001 . Such devices do not make it possible to fix a large number of tubes on one and the same connection box. Thus, the connection boxes must have large surface walls as soon as it is desired to fix a large number of tubes, which causes problems of placement and cost of these boxes.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to overcome such drawbacks by proposing a method and a device for fixing on a tube support with a small footprint and while respecting the requirements of mechanical continuity and protection of telecommunication cables.
  • a method of fixing on a support for tubes for telecommunication cables having a plurality of fixing holes intended to each receive an end of tube
  • the method being characterized in that it consists in mounting in force a cylindrical ring around the end of the tube to be fixed on the support, to force insert a hollow cylindrical screw in the end of the tube to be fixed so that a free end of the screw protrudes from the end of the tube, insert the free end of the screw through a hole of the support, and to fix the free end of the screw on the support.
  • the fixing of the free end of the screw on the support consists in screwing it into a corresponding thread of the orifice of the support.
  • fixing the free end of the screw on the support consists in tightening a nut on said free end of the screw.
  • the invention also relates to a device for fixing on a support for tubes for telecommunication cables, according to claim 4, the support having a plurality of fixing holes intended to each receive a tube end, the device being characterized in that it comprises a cylindrical ring intended to be mounted in force around the end of the tube to be fixed on the support, a hollow cylindrical screw intended to be inserted into force in the end of the tube to be fixed so that a free end of the screw protrudes from the end of the tube, and means for fixing the free end of the screw on the support.
  • the invention finally relates to a telecommunication connection box, comprising an optical fiber input side wall, an optical fiber outlet side wall, and a plurality of optical fiber transport tubes, characterized in that it further comprises a plurality of devices as described above for fixing the optical fiber transport tubes on the outlet side wall.
  • the fixing device in connection with the figure 1 , the fixing device according to one embodiment of the invention comprises a cylindrical ring 10, for example of metal, and a hollow cylindrical screw 12.
  • the cylindrical ring 10 is intended to be mounted in force around the end of a tube 14 to be fixed on the support (not shown).
  • the ring 10 thus has an internal diameter which is adapted to the external diameter of the tube 14.
  • the ring may have an internal diameter of 6 mm (and an outer diameter of 8 mm).
  • the hollow cylindrical screw 12 it is intended to be inserted into force in the end of the tube 14 to be fixed so that a free end 12a of the screw protrudes relative to the end of the tube.
  • the hollow screw 12 thus has an outer diameter which is adapted to the internal diameter of the tube 14.
  • the hollow screw 12 may have, for example, an outside diameter of about 4.5 mm.
  • the cylindrical screw 12 may be of the self-tapping type.
  • the tube 14 is secured to a support 16, for example a wall of a telecommunication connection box, by means of this fixing device.
  • the support 16 has a plurality of circular fixing holes 18 (only one is shown on the figure 2 ). These fixing holes are traversed by the free end 12a of the screws 12 so that the screws protrude from the side of the support 16 opposite to that against which the tubes are fixed.
  • the fixing orifice 18 is provided with a thread 20 complementary to the thread of the hollow screw 12 of the fixing device. In this way, the fixing of the tube 14 on the support 16 is effected by screwing the free end 12a of the screw 12 into this orifice 18.
  • the telecommunication cable 22 (for example an optical fiber) which is mounted in the tube 14 can open on the side of the support 16 opposite to the one against which the tube is fastened by passing inside the screw 12.
  • the telecommunication cable is installed in the tube 14 by known methods such as blowing or blowing-portage.
  • the figure 3 represents another embodiment of the fixing device according to the invention.
  • the fixing holes 18 are not threaded and the fixing device further comprises a nut 24 which is intended to be clamped on the free end 12a of the screw 12 to ensure its attachment to the support 16.
  • the telecommunication cable 22 which is mounted in the tube 14 also opens on the side of the support 16 opposite to that against which the tube is fastened by passing inside both the screw 12 and the nut 24.
  • this device has the advantage of allowing the fixing of tubes of great length. Indeed, it is not necessary to twist these tubes to allow their attachment to the support.
  • the cylindrical ring 10 is mounted in force around the end of the tube 14 to be fixed on the support 16.
  • the hollow screw 12 is inserted into force in the tube 14 so that a free end 12a of it protrudes from the end of the tube.
  • the free end 12a of the screw is inserted into an orifice 18 of the support 16 to be fixed therein, either by screwing therein or by means of a clamping nut 24.
  • the junction box 100 is in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped whose wall 101 forming the bottom is fixed to the wall.
  • One of the side walls 102 forming the input wall of the connection box 100 receives a plurality of optical fibers 104 from a main cable 106 fixed to the wall. This input side wall 102 is fixed directly against the main cable 106 in order to avoid any damage to the optical fibers 104.
  • the side wall 108 of the housing 100 which is opposite the inlet wall 102 forms an exit wall and is intended to receive a plurality of tubes 110 carrying the optical fibers 104 from the main cable 106 to the users of these fibers.
  • the tubes 110 are fixed on the outlet wall 108 by means of fixing devices as described with reference to FIG. figure 3 .
  • these fixing devices could be those of the embodiment of the invention illustrated by the Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the tubes 110 for transporting the optical fibers are fixed on the outlet wall 108 by means of a staggered arrangement which makes it possible to increase the number of fixing tubes on this wall.
  • connection box 100 also comprises a wall 112 forming a cover which provides protection for the optical fibers inside the housing.
